Screed the Concrete Surface

What happens here

Once the concrete is roughly spread, use a straight edge, commonly known as a screed board or strike-off board, to level the concrete to the top of the formwork. This tool should be long enough to span the width of the form. Place the screed board on the edges of the formwork and use a sawing motion while pulling it across the surface. This action removes excess concrete and creates a flat, level surface. It may require multiple passes and often works best with two people, one on each side of the screed board.

Goal: Level the concrete to the top of the formwork
